The  year  which  has  just  closed  has  been  a  notable 
one  in  the  history  of  the  "Old  First."  If  every  department 
of  our  work  and  worship  has  not  shown  the  advance  we 
hoped  for  and  desired,  there  has  been  such  a  solid  and 
substantial  growth  in  so  many  directions  that  we  can  only 
think  of  the  year  1908  with  profound  gratitude  because  of 
the  blejsings  which  it  has  brought  from  God. 

The  E'ttandance  at  the  regular  services  on  the  Sabbath 
has  increased,  and  this  is  particularly  true  of  the  morning. 
The  Wednesday  evening  Prayer  Meeting  still  leaves  a 
great  deal  to  be  desired,  but  during  the  Fail  and  w^ith  the 
advent  of  the  better  v^eather  this  Spring  a  great  improve- 
ment is  noticeable  there  also.  May  we  not  lay  this  meeting 
upon  the  hearts  and  consciences  of  our  people  and  bespeak 
a  more  faithful  and  hearty  support,  requesting  them  not  to 
make  engagements  which  conflict  w^ith  it,  and  not  to  issue 
invitations  for  social  gatherings  on  this  evening  which  re- 
quire the  presence  of  First  Church  members  earlier  than 
twenty  minutes  after  eight.  Surely  this  is  not  too  much  to 
ask  of  those  who  are  followers  of  Jesus  Christ  and  who 
have  promised  upon  joining  the  Church  to  study  its  peace 
and  prospeiity. 

Another  year  has  but  deepened  the  conviction  that 
our  present  system  of  Benevolent  Offerings — while  not 
perfect- -is  admirably  suited  to  the  conditions  which  pre- 
vail among  us.  The  hearty  response  to  the  weekly 
envelope  plan,  the  fact  that  last  year  alm.ost  tv/o  hundred 
of  our  people  contributed  in  this  way,  and  the  amount 
realized,  seem  to  justify  the  belief  that  judged  by  its  fruits 
the  system  is  a  great  success. 
5 


The  change  in  the  date  of  the  v/eek  of  prayer  from 
the  first  of  the  year  to  the  week  immediately  preceding 
Easter,  has  approved  itself  by  the  great  increase  in  the 
members  present.  The  meetings  this  year  were  inspiring 
and  helpful  to  an  unusual  degree. 

The  Communicant's  Class  w^as  largely  attended  and 
the  members  of  it  were  carefully  instructed  in  all  the  great 
essentials  of  the  Christian  Faith. 

The  work  of  the  Men's  Club  is  particularly  worthy  of 
note.  The  great  characteristic  of  the  meetings  has  been  a 
spirit  of  friendliness  and  good-fellowship.  The  organiza- 
tion has  entered  more  than  ever  before  into  the  life  of  the 
Church,  and  the  series  of  meetings  held  under  its  auspices 
during  March  and  April  was  a  most  distinct  and  quaUfied 
success.  It  is  hoped  that  this  may  be  a  permanent  feature 
of  the  Club's  usefulness  in  the  future.  To  this  Club  we 
are  also  indebted  for  the  efficient  way  in  which  the  ushers, 
under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Walter  R.  Seavey,  have 
attended  to  their  duties. 

The  problem  of  the  Sunday  School,  like  that  of  the 
poor,  is  one  which  is  ever  with  us.  The  faithfulness  of  the 
few  is  not  sufficient  for  the  task  which  is  laid  upon  them, 
but  with  the  re-entry  of  Mr.  E.  A.  K.  Hackett  into  the 
active  service  of  the  Superintendency  and  with  the  inaugu- 
ration of  certain  new^  plans,  w^e  can  at  least  approach  the 
future  with  hopefulness. 

In  conclusion  the  Pastor  can  only  express  his  sense  of 
personal  gratitude  to  all  those  who  have  given  unselfishly 
of  their  time  and  talent  to  the  furtherance  of  God's  work 
in  this  part  of  His  Kingdom. 

HENRY  B.  MASTER. 

Pastor. 


A  ^nt^QtBtmti. 


In  the  history  of  every  Church  situated  as  is  our  own, 
there  are  certain  families  whose  names  always  have  been 
prominently  identified!  with  its  progress  and  with  its  sup- 
port. It  frequently  happens,  however,  that  with  the  lapse 
of  the  years,  through  removal  to  other  cities,  or  by  death, 
these  names  disappear  from  the  Church  rolls,  and  there 
comes  a  time  when  those  whose  devotion  and  liberality 
have  helped  to  make  the  Church  what  it  is  in  the  present, 
have  no  representative  or  memorial  to  recall  them  to 
another  generation  of  Church  workers. 

What  a  splendid  thing  it  would  be  if  many  of  our 
members  could  see  their  way  clear  to  perpetuate  the 
memory  of  their  family's  connection  with  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  by  the  gift  of  a  certain  sum  of  money,  to  be 
held  in  trust  by  the  Trustees,  the  income  from  which 
could  be  applied  toward  the  payment  of  the  rental  of  a 
particular  pew  or  sitting.  For  each  gift  of  this  kind  a  name 
plate  would  be  provided  and  affixed  to  the  pew  or  sitting 
designated.  The  effect  of  this  would  be  to  secure  an  en- 
dowment fund  which  would  tide  the  Church  over  times  of 
stress  or  depression  and  insure  its  continued  usefulness 
when  in  the  Fort  Wayne  which  is  to  be,  it  will  have  be- 
come "a  down-tow^n  Church." 
7 


If  there  are  any  who  would  Hke  to  meet  this  sugges- 
tion but  feel  they  cannot  do  so  in  the  present,  a  bequest 
in  their  wills  could  take  the  place  of  an  immediate  gift. 

A  Jnrm  of  Irqurat 

I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Trustees  of  The  First  Pres- 
byterian Church,  of    Fort  Wayne,   Indiana,    to   be    held  in 

trust  by  them,  the  sum  of dollars,  to 

be  appropriated  and  applied  to  the  production  of  an  income 
which  shall  be  used  for  the  payment  of  the  annual  rental 
of  a  pew  or  sittings.  Such  pew  or  sittings  to  be  suitably

Sr^jnrt  at  tl|r  (Ulrrk  at  the  f^rsstuu 

For  the  Year  Jiiiding  April  1st,  190S. 

Under  Presbyterian  form  of  government  the 
Session  is  the  ruling  body  in  the  Church,  and 
has  supervision  over  all  departments  of  Church 
work.  It  consists  of  the  elders  together  with 
Pastor,  who  presides  as  Moderator.  As  a  rule 
all  regular  meetings  of  the  Session  are  constitut- 
ed with  prayer  by  the  Moderator  and  closed  in 
the  same  way  by  one  of  the  members.  There 
are  two  officers  of  the  Session  in  addition  to  the 
Moderator.  The  Clerk  of  Session  keeps  a  record 
of  the  business  done,  and  once  a  year  this 
record  must  be  presented  to  the  Presbytery  for 
approval  or  disapproval.  The  Treasurer  of  the 
Session  has  custody  of  all  the  benevolent  funds 
of  the  Church  and  pays  them  out  under  the  di- 
rection of  Session.  Then  there  are  several 
Committees  of  the  Session,  each  one  of  which  is 
made  up  of  two  or  more  elders,  which  have 
charge,  under  the  direction  of  Session,  of  some 
particular  branch  of  the  work. 

During  the  last  year  the  Session  held  fourteen 
regular  meetings  besides  a  number  of  inform?.! 
29 


conferences.  During  the  year  twelve  were  re- 
ceived into  membership  on  Profession  of  Faith 
and  ten  on  certificate  from  other  Churches.  The 
rolls  have  been  purged  by  dropping  therefrom 
the  names  of  those  who  have  disappeared,  or 
who  have  persistently  neglected  the  ordinances 
of  the  Church. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  Session  to  take  cogniz- 
ance of  the  spiritual  condition  of  the  Church. 
This  may  be  known  in  two  ways,  first  by  the 
gifts  to  benevolent  objects  and  second,  by  at- 
tendance at  the  regular  services  of  the  Church. 

As  seen  in  the  benevolences  the  spiritual  con- 
dition of  the  membership  of  the  Church  is  very 
satisfactory.  Our  members  are  disposed  to  be 
liberal  and  this  reflects  great  credit  upon  them. 

As  seen  in  the  attendance  at  the  Sabbath  ser- 
vice the  spiritual  condition  is  again  shown  to  be 
good,  but  there  is  room  however  for  improve- 
ment in  the  Wednesday  night  prayer  Meeting. 
The  Session  would  be  glad  if  more  of  our  peo- 
ple would  support  this  meeting  regularly  and  get 
from  it  the  good  that  is  in  store  for  those  who 
attend. 

Charles  H.  Wordkn, 

Clerk  of  Session.

/'^^r  i/ie  Year  Ending  April  1st,  1908. 

Under  another  head  will  be  seen  the  report  of 
the  Treasurer  of  the  Board  of  Deacons.  The 
object  of  this  notice  is  merely  to  call  attention  to 
the  large  increase  in  our  necessary  budget  and 
to  urge  the  congregation  to  provide  us  with 
means  sufficient  to  take  care  of  it  during  the 
coming  year. 

As  will  be  seen  in  the  report  referred  to  above, 
the  Board  has  disbursed  in  monthly  allowances 
the  sum  of  $450.00;  for  room  rent,  $36-00;  for 
special  donations  recommended  by  the  Ladies' 
Society,  $25.00;  and  for  coal,  wood,  groceries 
and  medicine,  $13.43.  This  makes  a  total  ex- 
penditure of  $524.43,  an  amount  far  in  excess  of 
the  four  collections,  which  constitute  our  regu- 
lar income. 

To  provide  for  this  excess  it  was  necessary  to 
draw^  a  part  of  our  money  which  has  been  invest- 
ed, and  which  has  been  yielding  us  in  interest, 
an  amount  each  year  equal  to  one  of  the  collec- 
tions. It  will  readily  be  seen  that  after  another 
year  of  this  sort;  we  will  be  reduced  to  entire 
31 


dependence  on  the  quarterly  offerings,  and  in 
that  event  either  our  benefactions  will  have  to 
be  curtailed  or  our  collections  largely  increased. 

At  the  present  outlook  it  will  not  be  possible 
to  cut  down  the  amount  given  each  year  for  the 
support  of  our  people  who  are  in  need  without 
causing  actual  suffering,  as  the  allowance  now 
paid  in  each  case  is  barely  enough  to  provide  the 
necessaries. 

Unless,  therefore,  the  First  Church  increases 
its  gifts  to  the  Deacon's  Board  we  will  be  under 
the  reproach  of  not  caring  for  our  own  poor,  a 
condition  which  has  never  obtained,  and  which, 
to  our  thinking,  is  most  unlikely  ever  to  exist. 
The  Board  requests  that  these  conditions  be  care- 
fully reflected  upon  and  that  the  regular  quarter- 
ly collections  be  increased  as  much  as  possible. 

K.  Rai,ph  YarnelIvK, 

Secretary.

poration, v/hich  is  a  legally  organized  body  with 
definite  powers  conferred  upon  it  by  the  laws  of 
the  State  of  Indiana.  As  such  a  body  it  has 
acquired  property,  contracted  debts,  received 
bequests,  and  may  sue  or  be  sued  upon  its  obli- 
gations. 

While  it  is  not  a  profit-sharing  corporation,  it 
is  composed  of  shareholders  in  the  business 
sense,  inasmuch  as  every  contributing  member 
shares  equally  v/ith  every  other  member  in  the 
power  to  determine  by  ballot  all  questions  usu- 
ally passed  upon  by  the  stockholders  in  any 
business  corporation.  According  to  the  terms 
of  our  charter,  obtained  more  than  sixty-five 
years  ago,  five  Trustees  are  to  be  chosen  annu- 
all}^  to  represent  these  shareholders,  as  Directors 
are  elected  to  represent  stockholders  in  business 
corporations;   and,  again  as  in  business  corpora- 

33 


tions,  these  Trustees  are  required  to  keep  a 
record  of  their  proceedings,  which  shall  be  open 
to  the  inspection  of  all  persons  concerned. 

It  is  therefore  proper,  as  it  is  customary,  that 
reports  of  the  financial  affairs  of  the  corporation 
shall  be  made  at  this  meeting,  and  it  is  highly 
desirable  that  the  expenditures  during  the  past 
year  shall  be  carefully  considered  and  freely  dis- 
cussed— not  in  a  spirit  of  captious  criticism,  but 
in  order  that  every  shareholder  may  be  informed 
as  to  the  needs  of  the  Church  and  the  methods 
adopted  to  provide  for  these  needs ;  and  be  thus 
enabled  to  determine  whether  he  is  assuming,  to 
the  full,  his  share  of  the  obligations  which  rest 
upon  us  all. 

Discrepancies  between  the  estimate  and 
the  result  are  not  uncommon,  and  we  may  be 
pardoned  if,  in  a  spirit  of  optimism,  we  have 
somewhat  exceeded  the  limits  which  cold  pru- 
dence would  have  drawn.  For  who  can  be  other 
than  an  optimist  when  estimating  the  possibili- 
ties of  this  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Fort 
Wayne,  being  mindful  of  its  long  and  honorable 
record  and  with  the  stimulus  of  its  present 
awakening  strong  within  him. 

Few,  if  any,  of  our  sister  Churches  through- 
out this  land  can  show  such  striking  growth  in 
its  benevolences  as  was  revealed  in  the  reports 

34

read  here  one  week  ago  to-night.  It  is,  there- 
fore, with  added  pleasure  that  we  submit  for 
your  consideration  our  Treasurer's  report  of  the 
amounts  collected  and  disbursed  during  the  past 
year,  inasmuch  as  it  reveals  a  similar  condition 
of  healthy  expansion  in  the  temporalities  of  the 
Church,  which  devolve  upon  us,  your  business 
representatives,  in  an  earnest  endeavor  to  main- 
tain the  Old  First  in  the  place  it  should  fill 
in  this  growing  city. 

It  is  with  a  warm  feeling  of  pride  in  our  fel- 
low shareholders  that  we  lay  before  you  the  de- 
tails of  what  you  have  enabled  us  to  do  for  you; 
and  of  confidence  that  the  exhibit  of  what  has 
been  done  will  but  spur  you  to  a  more  effective 
effort  to  realize  what  can  be  done. 

We  take  great  pleasure  in  the  fact  that,  with 
the  one  exception  of  the  choir,  it  has  been  un- 
necessary to  call  upon  you  for  special  assess- 
ments. The  expenses  of  the  Sunday  School, 
allotments  to  the  Sinking  Fund,  interest  upon 
the  bonded  debt  are  now  met  out  of  the  general 
Trustee's  fund,  whereas,  formerl}^  they  v;ere 
usually  provided  for  by  special  contributions. 
This  should  be  borne  in  mind  when  comparing 
the  total  expenditures  this  year  with  those  of 
former  vears. 


35 


It  will  be  instructive  to  make  an  estimate,  or 
what  may  be  termed  a  minimum  schedule  of 
fixed  charges  using,  as  a  basis,  the  amounts 
so  expended  during  the  year  just  closed. 
The  minimum  calls  for  the  disbursement  of 
$7,625.00. 

The  sum  apportioned  to  the  Sinking  Fund, 
from  which  it  is  expected  the  bonded  indebted- 
ness of  the  Church  will  be  paid  is  not  suflicient 
to  accomplish  its  purpose  and  must  be  increased- 
The  first  bond  matures  next  fall,  $1,000  in 
amount,  and  the  Sinking  Fund  will  be  large 
enough  to  meet  the  obligation.  But  for 
future  Bond  payments  a  more  adequate  provi- 
sion is  necessary.  The  sum  apportioned  to  in- 
surance is  the  average  annual  amount  which 
should  be  set  aside  to  meet  the  premiums  as  they 
fall  due. 

It  will  be  noted  (see  report  of  Treasurer)  that 
our  actual  expenditures  for  the  past  3'ear,  in- 
cluding Sinking  Fund,  unpaid  Salaries,  Bills, 
total,  $8,405.83,  or  nearly  $800.00  more  than 
the  estimated  minimum.  The  increase  being 
accounted  for  in  the  items  of  Choir,  Sunday 
School  and  Pulpit  Supply.  With  a  liberal  pro- 
vision for  unforseen  expenses,  which  are  sure 
to  com>e,    w^e   may    estimate    that    the   expendi- 


36 


tures,  after  doubling  the    amount   set   aside  for 
the  Sinking  Fund,  should  not  exceed  $8,300.00. 

What  resources  have  we  from  which  to  defray 
these  expenses  ? 

The  seating  capacity  of  the  Church  Auditor- 
ium is  690.  The  rental  capacity,  on  the  basis 
of  our  present  schedule  of  prices,  is  $11,811.00. 
Our  register  shows  actual  rentals,  as  of  April 
1st,  1908,  amounting  to  $8,500.00,  derived  from 
200  contracts  covering  520  seats.  We  have, 
therefore,  an  unsold  seating  capacity  of  170 
seats,  which  if  sold,  would  increase  our  collec- 
tions $3,300.00 

Your  attention  is  called  to  the  discrepancy  be- 
tween the  number  of  rental  contracts  (200)  and 
the  actual  membership  of  the  Church  (566). 
Many  of  the  200  are  heads  of  families  whose 
pevv^s  contain  a  large  proportion  of  our  member- 
ship: But  there  are  many  who  have  not  availed 
themselves  of  the  opportunity  to  become  fully 
accredited  members  of  the  Corporation,  and  we 
urge  them  to  do  so  without  delay. 

In  conclusion,  we  thank  you  for  the  honor 
of  serving  you  in  this  capacity  ;  for  it  is  an 
honor  to  be  Trustee  of  this  or  any  Church,  and 
so  much  is  to  be  gained  in  the  way  of  enlight- 
enment,    while     endeavoring  to    be    worthy  of 


37 


your  confidence,  that  Vv^e  feel  every  shareholder 
should,  in  rotation,  be  invested  with  that  honor 
and  developed  through  that  enlightenment. 

Thk  Board  of  Trustees.

^tpavt  of  ll^^  ^it^itrtntrtii^iit  of  tl|? 

For  the  Year  Ending  April  1st,  1908. 

The  optimism  expressed  by  our  former  Super- 
intendent, Mr.  E.  Ralph  Yarnelle,  as  to  the 
year's  work  just  past  has  not  been  realized,  and 
there  has  been  no  improvement  in  our  school  in 
numbers,  notwithstanding  the  devotion  of  our 
faithful  members. 

The  School  is  not  a  representative  one  for 
such  a  magnificent  Church  membership  as  we 
have  here  in  the  First  Church,  and  until  such 
time  as  our  members  take  this  Bible  School  to 
heart  and  see  their  children  come,  and  regularly, 
the  blessing  that  is  in  the  School  will  be  lost  to 
them. 

We  have  continued  to  use  the  Blakeslee  sys- 
tem, and  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  all — teach- 
ing the  scholar  how  to  "search  the  Scriptures." 

The  privilege  of  teaching  is  too  lightly  regard- 
ed. It  is  imperative  that  the  teacher  be  regular 
and  prompt  in  attendance  at  every  session,  to 
set  the  correct  example   after  which  the  scholar 

39 


may  pattern,  that  their  interest  in  the  School 
may  be  increased  and  they  be  brought  to  confess 
Christ  as  their  Saviour. 

To  one  and  all  we  are  indebted  for  their  effi- 
cient loving  service  in  the  lyord's  name. 

To  Miss  Margaret  McPhail,  Mrs.  George  W. 
McCaskey,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Straughn,  Miss  Margaret 
Saylor,  Miss  Ignota  B.  White  and  Miss  Helen 
Jackson  we  are  also  indebted  for  valuable  help  in 
teaching,  circumstances  not  permitting  their 
continuance  at  the  present  time. 

To  our  Treasurer,  Mr.  William  A.  Nichols, 
and  Secretary,  Mr.  Bruce  Elliott,  our  thanks 
are  extended  for  the  faithful  performance  of 
their  duties. 

Had  it  not  been  for  our  Chorster,  Mr.  E.  F. 
Yarnelle,  who  has  acted  as  Superintendent  dur- 
ing the  long  absence  of  the  Superintendent,  the 
work  would  have  been  crippled  indeed. 

The  grim  reaper,  death,  has  visited  our  School 
during  the  year,  taking  from  our  midst  some  of 
our  scholars,  but  we  know  whom  they  have  be- 
lieved in,  and  that  the  departed  ones  are  now 
with  their  Saviour  in  Heaven,  where  there  is  no 
sorrow  nor  tears,   but  perfect   peace, 

For  him  who  has  been  elected  Superintendent 
for  the   ensuing  year,   Mr.   E.    A.  K.  Hackett, 


40 


whom  all  delight  to  honor,  we  ask  the  heartiest 
co-operation,  that  our  School  may  be  blessed 
under  his  guidance. 

Arthur  H.  Perfect, 

Retiring  Superintendent.

Srpnrt  of  t!|^  Wamau'a  iKisBtnuarg 

For  the  Year  Ending  March  15th,  190S. 

Each  Missionary  Society  is  the  product  of  its 
own  environment.  No  two  Societies  are  in  all 
points  exactly  the  same. 

As  a  somevv^hat  conservative  spirit  has  always 
prevailed  in  our  Church,  manifesting  itself  in  a 
love  for  methods  and  customs  that  have  been 
tried  and  not  found  wanting,  I  have  little  that 
is  new  to  report. 

On  the  second  Friday  of  each  month  w^e  hold 
our  regular  monthly  meeting  in  the  Bible  class 
room  of  the  Church.  The  hour  of  meeting  dur- 
ing this  year  is  from  three  o'clock  until  half- 
past  four  in  the  afternoon.  Connected  with 
each  month  is  the  study  of  a  particular  home 
subject  and  foreign  country — for  instance,  in 
the  month  of  April  w^e  alwa3^s  study  the  condi- 
tions existing  among  our  freedmen,  and  the 
progress  of  our  special  w^ork among  them.  Also, 
with  equal  care  and  interest,  we  endeavor  to 
learn  all  that  is  possible  of  our  missionary  work 
in  India. 

42 


At  the  beginning  of  the  year  a  chairman  for 
each  monthly  meeting  is  chosen  from  among 
our  active  members,  upon  whom  rests  the  re- 
sponsibility for  the  meeting  assigned  to  her. 
Printed  programs  are  issued  containing  the  order 
of  the  year's  work. 

While  the  social  feature  has  not  been  the  ob- 
ject of  our  missionary  meetings,  the  Association 
has  unconsciously  developed  a  feeling  of  com- 
radeship, w^hich  is  shown  in  the  tendency  to 
linger  at  the  close  of  the  meeting  for  a  friendly 
chat  or  a  courteous  word  of  greeting. 

The  review  of  the  year's  work  fills  our  hearts 
with  thankfulness  to  God  for  the  way  in  which 
He  has  led  us  and  the  privileges  and  opportuni- 
ties accorded  us. 

Our  glad  refrain  is  not  without  its  minor 
chord,  as  from  our  midst  have  been  taken  two 
well-beloved  members  of  our  societ}^  We 
mourn  the  absence  of  Mrs.  D.  N.  Miller  and 
Mrs.  T.  R.  Pickard;  Vv'e  miss  their  presence  and 
never-failing  devotion  to  our  work. 

Our  Secretaries  and  Treasurers  in  the  follow- 
ing reports  will  furnish  some  idea  of  the  work 
undertaken  by  us  and  what  we  have  really  ac- 
complished during  the  year  that  has  just  closed. 

Mrs.  Charles  L.  Olds. 


43 


A  Home  Missionary  meeting  has  been  held 
each  m.onth  during  the  past  year  at  the  regular 
time  and  place  with  an  average  attendance  of 
eighteen,  which  is  one  less  than  the  average  for 
last  year. 

There  are  now  seventy  members  enrolled  as 
contributing  members,  and  when  it  is  remem- 
bered that  by  virtue  of  her  membership  in  the 
First  Church  every  woman  becomes  thereby  a 
member  of  both  the  Homie  and  Foreign  Mission- 
ary Societies,  the  room  for  improvement  in 
this  direction  is  manifest. 

The  Society  is  now  contributing  to  the  salary 
of  Miss  Russell,  and  to  the  salaries  of  teachers 
in  the  Mary  Allen  School  for  Negro  girls,  in 
Texas;  and  to  the  Mary  Holmes  Freeman  School, 
in  Mississippi;  also  to  all  the  regular  Synodical 
Home  interests.  Our  gifts  for  the  year  total,  as 
per  the  Treasurer's  report,  $447.92. 

Mrs.  RaIvPh  E.  Pidgeon, 

Secretary. 


44 


As  the  Home  and  Foreign  Missionary  Depart- 
ment of  the  Society  are  combined  the  latter  half 
of  the  hour  is  given  to  the  Foreign  field  v/hich 
has  proven  most  interesting,  especially  the  vrork 
in  Tabriz,  Persia,  vdiere  our  own  Missionary, 
Miss  Lily  Beaber  has  charge  of  a  Girls  School 
which  has  been  established  for  more  than  forty 
years  and  now  has  an  attendance  of  over  an 
hundred  and  sixty  pupils.  It  is  a  privilege  and 
an  honor  to  have  in  the  foreign  field  a  represen- 
tative from  our  own  church,  and  one  so  exper- 
ienced and  so  eminently  fitted  for  the  task. 
Miss  Beaber'smany  accomplishments  have  enabl- 
ed her  to  start  many  different  forms  of  Vv'ork  in  the 
school,  and  in  this  v/ay  she  has  reached  many 
members  of  families  that  otherv.nse  could  not 
have  been  influenced. 

Through  one  Synod  we  have  come  in  close 
touch  with  the  work  in  Korea,  Vv^here  Christian- 
ity is  today  making  its  most  rapid  advance.  We 
pay  tlie  salar^^  of  Miss  Snook,  of  Pyng  Yang, 
whose  v/ork  as  a  Bible  woman  and  teacher  is 
under  the  supervision  of  Rev.  Samuel  Moilett, 
D.D. 

Another  Foreign  Synodical  object  is  the  salary 
of  ]Mrs.  Hugh  Taylor,  of  Lakawn,  the  capitol  of 
Dass,  a  country  tributary  to  the  Kingdom  of 
45 


Siam.  The  Presbyterian  Church  is  the  only 
denomination  which  has  established  missions 
among  the  Siamese  and  people  of  Laos. 

The  salary  of  Miss  Duncan,  an  Indian  girl,  in 
the  Girl's  School  at  Ningpo,  China,  the  payment 
of  traveling  expenses  and  outfits  of  new  mission- 
aries are  also  Synodical  objects  to  which  our 
Secretary  contributes. 

On  these  subjects  and  the  countries  where 
mxission  work  is  being  carried  we  have  this  year 
listened  to  splendid  talks  during  the  half  hour 
given  to  the  work  of  the  foreign  field.

Foreign  Secretary.

For  the  Year  Ending  April  1st,  190S. 

While  the  name  of  this  branch  of  our  women's 
work  in  the  Church  is  difficult  to  handle  in  a  re- 
port, it  is  so  well  understood  by  all  our  people 
that  no  change  seems  necessary  or  advisable. 
Years  ago  when  this  Society  was  first  organized 
it  was  our  custom  to  meet  in  the  homes  of  the 
different  members,  taking  our  own  lunch  and 
spending  practically  the  entire  day.  When  the 
work  increased  and  the  Society  grew  in  numbers 
the  burden  of  entertaining  so  large  a  gathering 
forbade  the  meeting  in  private  houses  and  the 
meetings  were  transferred  to  the  parlors  of  the 
Church.  The  meetings  have  always  been  held 
on  the  first  Friday  of  the  month,  commencing 
with  September  and  closing  with  March  or  April, 
as  the  necessaries  of  the  work  demanded.  It  is 
still  our  custom  to  bring  our  noon  lunch  and 
call  the  meetings  Missionary  Teas. 

During  the  last  few  3^ears  we  have  invited  the 
men  of  the  Church  and  a  nominal  charge  has 
been  made  for   this   dinner.     These    meals    are 

47 


provided  through  subscriptions  and  contributions 
by  the  various  members  of  the  Congregation  and 
the  amount  collected  at  each  of  them  represents 
therefore  practically  clear  gain.  As  the  financial 
report  shows,  the  mone}^  thus  received  is  very 
largely  given  to  the  work  of  the  Hom.e  and 
Foreign  Missionary  Societies.  In  addition  to 
this,  during  the  past  year  v/e  have  sent  Christ- 
mas gifts  to  the  Miss  Case  School,  at  Revere, 
North  Carolina,  and  a  barrel  of  table  linen  and 
bedding  valued  at  $50.00  was  also  sent  to  the 
School  at  Wolf  Point,  Montana,  which  is  an 
Indian  Mission  and  Industrial  School  for  boys. 
Perhaps  the  best  justification  of  the  Missionary 
Tea  Dinners  is  the  evident  feeling  of  friendship 
which  results  from  this  periodical  gathering  and 
association  of  so  many  of  our  people.  They 
furnish  an  unusually  pleasant  opportunity  for 
the  strangers  Vv'ho  come  amongst  us  to  meet  no 
small  proportiori  of  the  balarice  of  the  Congrega- 
tion. 

Mrs.  Hugh  M.  Dihhi..

For  the  Year  Ending  April  1st,  1908. 

The  Ladies'  Society  has  met  in  social  session 
at  the  homes  of  the  various  members  during  the 
year. 

In  June,  at  the  invitation  of  Mrs.  John  H.  Bass, 
a  meeting  was  held  at  beautiful  "Brookside." 
Mrs.  Gaylord  M.  Leslie  and  Mrs.  D.N.  Foster 
assisting.  iV  pleasant  afternoon  was  spent  listen- 
ing to  music  by  Mrs.  Frank  Culbertson  and 
looking  over  the  charming  grounds.  A  sudden 
"storm  prevented  the  usual  large  attendance. 

In  October  the  ladies  met  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
George  P.  Evans,  assisted  by  the  officers  of  the 
society.  The  Society  met  in  November  with 
Mrs.  Charles  H.  Worden,  assisted  by  Mrs. 
Charles  E.  Crall,  Mrs.  E.  T.  Williams  and  Mrs. 
George  W.  McCaskey,  thirty-four  members  were 
present. 

In  December  a  special  meeting  was  called 
at  the  home  of  the  President,  Mrs.  Albert  E. 
Bulson,  to  consider  the  Christmas  decorations 
of  the  Church.  The  decorating  was  done  by 
Mrs.  John  Jacobs,  Mrs.  H.  T.  Stapleford  and 
Mrs.  Nellie  M.  Fee,  members  of  the  flower  com- 
mittee, assisted  by  the  President  and  Secretary. 
49 


In  January  the  ladies  again  met  with  Mrs. 
Charles  E.  Read.  Mrs.  Charles  L-  Olds,  Mrs. 
Frank  Stouder,  Mrs.  Frank  L.  Taft  and  Mrs.  K. 
P.  Myers  assisting.  Members  present,  forty- 
seven. 

The  next  meeting  in  February,  was  held 
at  the  home  of  Mrs.  L.  C.  Hunter.  Mrs. 
Hugh  M.  Diehl,  Mrs.  David  H.  Caldwell,  Mrs. 
A.  ly.  Jo'hns  and  Mrs.  W.  S.  McKay  assisting. 
Coming  so  near  Washington's  birthday  the 
ladies  met  in  costume,  the  house  was  decorated 
with  flags  and  an  exceedingly  pleasant  afternoon 
was  spent.     Thirty-two  were  in  attendance. 

In  March  the  regular  meeting  was  held  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  James  M.  McKay,  assisted  by  Mrs. 
W.  M.  Leedy,  Mrs.  William  F.  Reitze,  Mrs. 
R.  S.  Patterson,  Mrs.  Louis  Bourie  and  Mrs. 
R.  W.  Cecil  and  Mrs.  W.  H.  Tigar.  Twenty- 
eight  ladies  were  present. 

During  the  year  the  Society  has  contributed 
the  sums  of  $10.00  to  a  struggling  church  at 
Warroad,  Minnesota,  and  $1.00  to  the  Aid 
Society  of  a  small  church  at  Salt  Lake. 

Flowers  and  greens  were  purchased  for  the 
Christmas  decorations  of  the  church.  Flowers 
have  also  been  sent  to  the  homes  of  the  various 
members  of  the  church  visited  by  death.  Mrs. 
Nellie  M.  Fee,  Mrs.  H.  T.  Stapleford  and   Mrs. 


50 


John   Jacobs   have    attended    faithfully   to    this 
duty. 

The  purchasing  committee,  Mrs.  H.  T.  Staple- 
ford,  Mrs.  J.  W.  McKay  and  Mrs.  E.  F.  Yarnelle, 
has  supplied  one  dozen  knives  and  two  dozen 
silver  forks  for  the  church  kitchen. 

The  evening  entertainment  New  Years  Eve 
was  presided  over  and  the  refreshments  kindly 
donated  by  our  president,  Mrs.  A.  E.  Bulson. 

Although  the  attendance  during  the  year  has 
been  good,  the  ladies  are  desirous  of  adding  to 
the  number  and  earnestly  wish  that  every  w^oman 
in  the  congregation  would  consider  herself  a 
member  and  join  the  circle  in  their  monthly 
meetings,  w^here  she  will  receive  a  very  cordial

Srpnrt  of  tilt  f  oung  Wnmatt's  ^atxtt^. 

For  the  Year  Ending  April  1st,  1908. 

The  Young  Woman's  Society  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church,  was  organized  with  a  three- 
fold object,  first  to  assist  in  such  charitable  pro- 
jects as  might  present  themselves;  second,  to 
aid  the  various  departments  of  the  Church,  when 
need  should  arise;  and,  third,  to  further  a  social 
interest  among  the  young  people  of  the  Church. 

In  this  last  named  effort  we  feel  marked  pro- 
gress has  been  made  during  the  year  just  ended. 
The  social  meetings  held  at  the  homes  of  our 
various  members  every  two  weeks,  have  been 
well  attended,  and  an  effort  has  been  made  to 
bring  the  strangers  to  these  meetings. 

Toward  the  close  of  the  year  ending  April  1st, 
1908,  the  society  undertook  to  furnish  and  main- 
tain a  room  in  Hope  Hospital.  New  furniture 
and  supplies  were  purchased,  and  the  room  was 
completely  renovated.  Owing  to  unlooked  for 
expenses,  arising  in  connection  with  there-deco- 
rating of  the  walls  and  painting  of  the  floor  and 
wood-work,  the  society  found  itself  with  a  debt 
of  almost  one  hundred  dollars — $100.00  at  its 
first  meeting  in  October. 

52 


From  the  annual  sale  and  supper  in  December, 
which  is  our  chief  source  of  income,  enough  was 
realized  to  pay  off  this  debt ;  meet  the  pledge 
toward  Miss  Beaber's  salary;  and  that  to  the 
Visiting  Nurse's  League,  of  this  city  ;  to  vote  the 
usual  sum  for  Easter  decorations  in  the  Church; 
and  to  add  to  the  supply  of  linens,  and  purchase 
a  much  needed  couch  for  the  hospital  room . 

Thus,  while  we  have  not  been  able  to  under- 
take any  notable  new  work,  we  feel  grateful  to 
close  this  year  free  of  debt,  with  a  bright  pros- 
pect for  growth  another  year. 

Mrs.  Charles  W.  Lang, 

Retiring  President.

In  connection  with  the  beautiful  service  of 
Christmas,  Sunday  afternoon,  a  Committee  was 
appointed  to  distribute  the  gifts  offered  by  the 
Sunday  school  and  the  congregation.  This  Com- 
mittee, composed  of  Mrs.  S.  M.  Foster,  Chair- 
man, Mrs.  George  W.  McCaskey,  Mrs.  Frank 
H.  Cutshall  and  Miss  Hoffman,  met  on  the 
following  Monday  and  went  carefully  over  the 
contents  of  the  Manger.  In  addition  to  almost 
ten  dollars  in  money,  and  three  orders  of  one 
dollar  each  in  groceries,  and  an  order  for  a  box 
of  oranges,  they  found  13  dolls,  39  books,  38 
pairs  of  stockings,  14  pairs  of  mittens,  21  boxes 
of  candy,  1  blanket,  93  toys,  38  packages  of 
groceries,  60  articles  of  clothing,  and  12  miscel- 
laneous gifts. 

All  the  needy  children  in  our  own  Sunday 
school  were  first  provided  for,  then  packages  of 
clothing,  groceries,  toys,  et  cetera,  were  sent  to 
eleven  worthy  families,  and  the  balance  of  the 
gifts  were  distributed  to  the  Visiting  Nurse 
League,  Hope  Hospital,  and  the  Allen  County 
Orphan's  Home.  Some  of  the  money  still  re- 
mains on  hand  and  this  will  be  used  to  buy  shoes 
54 


for  any  of  the  Sunday  school  who  are  without 
them — there  are  two  cases  of  this  kind  under 
consideration  at  present. 

We  can  only  express  our  thanks  to  the  large 
number  who  took  part  in  this  Christmas  Service 
and  whose  liberality  gave  such  pleasure  and  help 
to  those  who  really  needed  it.

/'i?r  Z/?^  Year  Ending:  April  1st,  19GS. 

The  Men's  Club  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church  is  just  closing  its  second  years  work. 
Its  object  is,  in  the  words  of  its  Constitution, 
"to  secure  the  Associated  services  of  the  Men  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  and  Congregation 
in  religious,  philanthropic  and  social  work." 

The  work  that  was  begun  and  carried  out  dur- 
ing the  first  year  with  great  zeal  has  inspired  us 
this  year  to  strive  for  an  equal  measure  of  suc- 
cess and  made  us  ambitious  to  increase  and 
strengthen  the  good  influences  of  the  Club. 

The  Club  undertakes  work  along  several  lines, 
which  for  its  better  performance  has  been  classi- 
fied and  each  branch  placed  under  the  direction 
of  its  ov7n  committee. 

The  committee  on  religious  work  looks  after 
the  comfort  of  the  Congregation  during  the 
services  of  the  Church — providing  the  ushers  and 
looking  after  the  welcome  and  reception  of 
strangers.  The  series  of  addresses  on  "The 
Bible  and  Science ' '  delivered  at  the  Church 
during  the  month  of  March  Vv'as  the  result  of  the 
faithful    service  of  the  Conmiittee  on  Religious 

56 


work.    The  following  subjects  were  treated  from 
the  standpoint  of  modern  scientific  investigation  : 
"  The  Bible  and  Geology,"  by  Professor  Stan- 
ley J.  Coulter,  Ph.D.,  Dean  of  the  School 
of  Science,  Purdue  University. 
"The  Bible   and  Astronomy,"  by   Professor 
Charles   A.  Waldo,    Ph.D.,    Professor   of 
Astronomy,  Purdue  Universit}^. 
"  The  Bible  and  Archaeology,"   by  Professor 
Ira  M.  Price,  Ph  D.,  Professor  of  Semitic 
Languages,  Chicago  University. 
"  The  Bible  and  Science,"  by  Professor  John 
M.  Coulter,  Ph.D.,  L.L.D.,  head  of  Depart- 
ment of  Botany,  Chicago  University. 
Great  credit  is  due  the  Social  Committee   for 
the    excellent   entertainment   afforded  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Club  at  the  monthly  meetings. 

The  membership  committee  has  done  some  fine 
v\'ork  for  increased  membership,  still  there  is  a 
goodly  number  in  the  Church  and  Congregation 
v/ho  ought  to  tecome  members  of  the  Club. 
The  dues  are  nominal,  $2.00  per  year.  The 
pleasures  and  benefits  of  the  Club  ought  to  be 
very  attractive  and  the  spirit  of  the  Club  is  very 
social  and  cordial. 

The  meetings  have  all  been  well  attended — en- 
thusiasm and  good  fellowship  have  prevailed 
throughout,    and  everybody  has  seemed  pleased 

and  benefitted. 

57 


We  are  greatly  indebted  to  the  speakers  who 
have  made  up  our  splendid  program  and  take 
this  occasion  to  express  to  them  the  thanks  and 
appreciation  of  the  Club. 

The  following  list  of  speakers  and  their  sub- 
jects illustrates  the  quality  and  variety  of  enter- 
tainment which  the  Club  affords. 

October — Prof.   R.   K.   Hoxie,    Chicago   Uni- 
versity.    "The  Outcome  of  Modern    Trades 
Unionism." 
November — Mr.  John  H.  Glazier,  Terre  Haute, 

Ind.     "Busted'' — a  study  in  Optimism.

For  the  Year  Ending  April  1st,  1908. 

The  Membership  Committee  of  the  Men's  Club, 
of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  begs  to  make 
the  following  report  of  work  done  by  it. 

The  Committee,  as  organized,  is  as  follows  : 
Dan  N.  Beers,  David  H.  Caldwell,  A.  Dorsey, 
Alfred  D.  Cressler,  and  Alfred  T.  Lukens,  who 
by  virtue  of  his  office,  i.e.,  Third  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  the  Club,  is  Chairman  of  the  Committee. 

After  organization  we  proceeded  to  have  appli- 
cation blanks  printed  and  distributed  among  the 
members,  with  instructions  to  solicit  members  of 
the  Church  and  Congregation  to  become  mem- 
bers of  the  Club. 

We  have  avoided  in  our  work  any  appeal  to 
those  connected  with  any  other  Church,  and  have 
sought  to  interest  members  of  our  own  Church 
and  those  who  had  no  Church  home,  and  whom 
we  thought  might  be  induced  to  affiliate  with  us. 

The  result  af  our  work  thus  far  is  the  addition 
of  fourteen  members.  The  Club  at  present  has 
a  membership  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-six. 

We  are  free  to  say,  had  we  given  the  work 
more  careful,  personal  attention,  a  great  many 
more  members  would  have  been  added  to  the 
Club  list.  A.  T.  Lukens, 

Chairman. 

59 


Your  committee  which  has  had  in  charge  the 
reception  and  arrangements  for  the  monthly 
meetings  of  the  Men's  Club,  v/ishes  to  submit 
for  your  consideration  the  following  report, 
covering  the  work  of  this  committee  for  fxscal 
year,  ending  May  12th,  1908. 

In  general  outline,  we  have  arranged  for  and 
appointed  the  several  sub-committees  and  they  in 
turn  have  furnished  the  refreshments  for  their 
respective  evenings;  keeping  in  mind  to  a  great 
extent  simplicity  and  promptness  in  service. 
While  our  labors  have  been  small,  we  have  en- 
deavored to  maintain  a  standard  which  would 
satisfy  not  only  the  Club  members,  but  our  vis- 
itors, whom  we  are  always  glad  to  welcome. 

As  to  those  visitors  who  have  chanced  to  come 
among  us,  we  have  spared  no  trouble  in  our 
efforts  to  have  them  feel  at  home  and  well  serv- 
ed. In  fact,  this  has  been  our  aim  during  each 
of  the  eight  meetings  in  regard  to  all  who  have 
attended. 

How  well  or  how  neglectfully  we  have  executed 
these  duties  we  will  permit  you,  yourselves,  to 

judge. 

Wai^tkr  R.  Seavky, 
Chairman.

Irpcrt  of  i^t  ISrltgiouB  Mcxk  (Enmmtttrr. 

The  Men's  Club,  through  their  Religious 
Work  Committee,  have  just  completed  a  course 
of  four  lectures,  on  the  subject  of  "The  Bible 
and  Science."  These  were  delivered  in  the 
Church  Auditorium,  in  four  successive  Sunday 
afternoons,  beginning  March  15th,  and  a  general 
invitation  was  extended.  The  topics  discussed 
by  four  of  the  leading  scientists  of  the  Middle 
West,  were  the  Bible  in  reference  to  Archeology, 
Astronomy,  Geology  and  Science.  As  a  whole 
they  were  handled  in  an  effective  and  scholarly 
manner,  treating  generally  of  the  attitude  of 
Science  and  the  present  Scientific  Spirit  towards 
the  Christian  Religion. 

These  meetings  accomplished  all  the  commit- 
tee hoped  for,  not  only  in  stimulating  religious 
thought  along  new  and  interesting  lines,  but 
also  in  strengthing  one's  faith  and  establishing 
clearly  and  unmistakably  the  great  fact,  that 
science  and  scientific  men  are  so  far  from  being 
inimical  to  Christianity  that  they  are  really 
among  its  truest  friends,  and  are  constantly 
reading  into  the  Bible  new  and  deeper  signifi- 
cance. 

On  account  of  the  success  of  these  meetings 
and  the  cordiality  with  which  they  were  receiv- 
ed, the  committee  suggests  that  the  Men's  Club 

61 


make  them  an  annual  occurance,  and  each  year 
select  some  subject  of  this  nature  upon  which 
thoughtful  men  can  deliberate  and  speak.  There 
are  many  questions  relating  to  the  different 
phases  of  Christian  service  which  might  be 
studied  with  great  profit  by  all. 

This  committee  entertains  the  hope  that  the 
Men's  Club  will  furnish  next  year  a  similar 
course,  and  they  feel  sure  it  will  be  received 
wnth  enthusiasm . 

E.  Ralph  Yarnkllk, 

Chairman.

Witpati  of  tl}t  ^ctti^tmn  dommittrr. 

This  Committee  may  be,  to  some  of  you,  a 
new  feature  of  this  Clubs  work,  but  w^e  can  as- 
sure you  that  the  Entertainment  Committee  has 
found  much  for  it  to  do.  In  fact  the  scope  of 
the  work  which  should  come  under  its  jurisdic- 
tion is  so  broad  that  could  we  enlist  the  active 
effort  of  each  member  of  this  Club  we  would  only 
have  began  our  labors.  Take  for  instance  the 
one  feature  of  visiting  strangers  to  the  various 
Church  services,  and  the  effort  to  care  for  their 
welfare  after  they  have  come  into  the  Church. 
This  seems  to  be,  should  be,  a  personal  duty  of 
every  right  thinking  man. 

Your  Committee  has  endeavored  by  it's  rep- 
resentatives to  attend  each  and  every  Church 
servnce,  during  which  we  have  handled  the  liter- 
ature, the  Hymnals,  the  collections,  and  cared 
for  the  strangers.  No  stranger  has  gone  his  or 
her  way  without  some  recognition  from  some 
one  of  the  committee.
